You are missing the pt about the 10th grader. It's not so much playing competition that is older in hs as this is expected and always was the case. The issue is that these are the start of the recruiting years which happens to concide with puberty. Skilled kids that mature earlier have the advantage. Throw in 1-2 yrs of being older and that advantage is much much larger. Everyone onow tha the recruiting has moved to the clubs from school ball. Think of how kids on the team or any team for that matter get bumped in the roster or has to fight for less time or fight for an invite which would never be the case if tourneys and clubs were age based or if clubs had limited morals. 1yr holdback is bad but double is just wrong. It's completely wrong on all fronts. The difference in a 10th grader both physically and from an iq level is ridiculous. Its a terrible trend and precedent that hopefully at some pt changes
